Then Fidel lit a cigar,took a couple of puffs and threw it overboard.When the other two looked at him,he said,“In Cuba,we got many of cigars.”

George was wondering what he was going to do sudenly he had an idea.He grabbed the first person he saw and threw him overboard.When the other two looked at him he replied,“In America,we have many illegal aliens.”

乔治·布什,鲍里斯·叶利钦和菲德尔·卡斯特罗在一艘游轮上会晤。傍晚,会议结束后,他们来到了甲板上。叶利钦打开了一瓶伏特加,小啜几口后便抛向了大海。另外两人惊诧地看着他,他说:“我们俄罗斯伏特加多着呢。”

尔后,卡斯特罗点燃了一根雪茄,抽了几口后便扔掉了。另外两人也十分惊讶,他解释道:“我们古巴雪茄多着呢。”

布什正想着他该做什么呢,突然他有了个好主意。他抓住眼前的一个人,一把将他丢进了大海中。另外两人用不解的眼神看着他,他说:“我们美国非法移民多着呢。”
